The 2025 Genoa Statement - Shaping the Care Economy Debate: how person-centred fundamental care shapes quality, safety, and evidence-based practice success
The International Learning Collaborative (ILC) is promoting a new way for health systems across the globe to shape the care economy debate by getting person-centred fundamental care right. This care is essential to human life, and foundational to safety, quality, and human dignity. This sort of care is assumed to happen consistently and effectively within our systems – personal hygiene, eating, drinking, sleeping, resting, breathing properly, relaxing, moving around, talking, and feeling comfortable, being listened to and respected.
Participants at the 2025 ILC Conference in Genoa identified five action statements.
The Genoa Conference action statements build on the previous ILC Position Statements and provide a set of aspirational targets that can be used to start or continue important conversations with patients and colleagues. The ILC’s five-year strategic plan also reflects these aspirations.
- Shaping the Care Economy Debate
- Making Care Visible
- Measuring What Matters
- Redistributing and Reconnecting
- Advancing person-centred care systems
